The proofs of the Report of the Finance 'Committee, parts of which related to those esti mates, would, he understood, not be in the bands eat Members until to-morrow. The CHANCELLOR of the.EXCHEQU ER replied,tkat There - Was no disposition on tie part of his Ma jesty's Ministers prematurely to ,discuss. the sub ject ; at the same time, the Honourable Gentle man mull be aware of the importance of avoiding any unnecessary delay with respect to it, as it was indispetsible 'that the Mutiny Bill should be passed lira certain period, not very distant. The printed copies of the Report of the Finance. Commii tee ivotild be in the hands of Members to-morrow. if the intel.val between' that and should h e thought too short k►r its consideration, those parts. of the Estimates might at any rate he discussed, to which the Ittport had no refer.lice.

Sir S. ROMILI,Y rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal so much of on Act passed in the 10th and 11th of. King AVilliani 111. as w en t t o take away benefit of Clergy fruit) persons convict ed of stealing in (looses, shops, stables, &c. to tile innoont of five shillings. It was not n e ce s sar y that be should say much on the present occasion, as a very strong opinion had been nfanilCsted on. the subject; to which he wished to direct their. litteptiun; *both in the,present And in the last Par. liameut. The Bill he wished to bring in.had al ready passed through that liouse four times, twice is this, and twice in the last Parliament. On the last occasion of its being hrought.in, it passed through its several stages without meeting with a wqrd of opposition, though it had subsequently • been lost in the . Lords, Un d er these ciretim • stances, he had little to say on again bringing tor- ward a measure which bad been so • repeatedly then), hut be thought it right briefly to slim them what was the state of the administra tion of Justice at Present, with respect to thoSe crimes which should he punished capitally,.as.the law now stood. The offences whirl; this Bill would affect, Were at present punishable with death ; ,but the law, so far hack as the Returns extended, namely, to 1805, had never been carried into ether, In the space of 12 years frOm 1805, • there had been 655 persons indicted, and of this number 113 had been capitally convicted, and .out . of these 113 criminals not one had been executed. In 365 cars the Jury .had brought in the parties guilty of a - ,simple larceny. The severity of the. punishment attached b law to the offeneehad the e ff ect of inclining 'Juries to Iciat in favour of • the prisoner, notwithstanding the oath.they had taken, and. this he conceived to have a most immoral tendency, although Blackstone had said it was perfectly proper for a Jury to reduce the value of an article froM its no mival price to that which it bore at the time the Act was passed. 'AS-he had mentioned bow the law bad been , executed tinder the Act - of the 10th and 171 th ob King. William, he won't! now state what the administration of justice had . been under the law for plashing stealing in a dwelling-house to the amount of forty shillings. From 106 to IS/6 here_bad been 1097 prrsons tt ied. Out of this cumber 293 had beeti capitally convicted, hut not ove had been executed. In the year 131 persons had been tried, 49. had hen capitally convicted, and one criminal had been executed. That'out of 1228 persons indict ed forsterding.in a duelling-house to the amount of forty shillings, but one indi%idual had suffered. In all the other Cases; with the exception of 342, the ,Inry hat: brought In the party guilty of steal ing, but not ti) the amount of forty,shillings. The principle acted upon by those to whom the ad niio4lralion. nf kolice was'confuled, in cases:of fraudalenthankruptcy and forgery, was prerisrly opitosite to Oaradopted with respect IQ the of fences, of'whielt he had just.sikiki!n; Incases oi forgery and fraudulent hankruptcy it was judged i3iproper ever. tp Pardon unless some particular' circumstances, favourable .to the prisoner, trAnqite. the , cases of whi c h h e h a d Il i st tmoken the sentence. was never -executed unless circinnsiancrs of peculiar aggra%ation wereproved ega,ioSt. the prisoer.. In all these'eases, he con tended, the 6evtlity of the law Operated - against .the administration of justice, - Wittan the' last wears there bid beets htit,lonr t conYik -I,i tor fraudulent bankruptcies. Yet it, was known niltnirous 'persons ere 'annually de rauded_by bankrupts, who calmly tesolved to let :he offenders escape with.impuoity, b i ecause there Loos no alternative between this and shedding Oleic blood. Forgeries had formerly been Uniformly pu nished with death, but there had been such a great increaSe of forgeries of late years, in consequence of the great addition nottle.tb our paper cirenlat ing 'Hellions, that beets found,impossible to -carry the sentence of the law into effect in every ease. In most cases, it was true, the law had been executed, but still, from the uncertainty of punishment which hied:tilos been introduced, - all the benefit of the severity of the law wits lost The feeling of the public was against the severity • of the punishment, yet many painful examples had been thought necessary. That very day two lads, the mie 17 and the other 18 years of age, were to-have been executed, but • owing to the exertions of a worthy' , Magistrate of the City, who was also a Member of that Hpuse, and au lion. Friend of his, they had beenrespited for, a 'week. If totngninary laws did not prevent crime, ,they , produced . the 'most injurious effects. Not only were the lives of the victims wasted, but the impression which such scenes made on the spec tators was not that which it was desirable to pro duce. This had been stated in stronger language than any be . could use by Mr. Burke, erbo,'speak lug of the policy of punishing political crimes on a great number of persons, had said, " . Such lilbitions only increase the ferocity of men, acrid teach -them to regard their . own lives and the lives of others as of very little value l whereas, it should be the great policy of a Government to make them feel that both are. of importance in th e eye of God, and that they should never sacrifice, or even hazard them, but in conformity with . those rules prescribed by. morality, and tinder the direc tion of the law." lie-considered the exhibition which had been made of the wretched mats who had committed suicide in, Newgate, from the ac countip he bad read in the l'aper'of the dtry to he highly objectionable. His • bloody and mangled corpse, it appeared, had heen exposed to public view with the instroment of death suspended over him. Such pi ) exhibition !wore a caiwel, partly . ' made tip of women and children, could not bin . produce :the most unfavourable Impression on them. Besides, be, bad to remark, the Sheriff, or whoever had done this, had no atithotil for taking such a course. . Ail the law directed ss here a verdict of felo de se was given was, that the body should be buried in the highway, and those who made the exhibition to which, he had just alluded, had no right to tahe upon themselves to pronounce a. man tt h o b ad not been tried, to be a murderer, and to dispose of him by the lianth of the executioner. There wav little or no doobt that . this. man had been guilty of the murder- for which : he was to have been tried but still.those Who had him in custody had no right to make an exhibition of his wretched remains, that should be at once diSgraCetid to*tke country and injurious to the chat actter of the peo pie. Such conduct had been justly reprobated in stronger and in better terms than arty he could use, by a Right lion. Gentleman now no *more (Mr. Sheravi), when the .body of Williams, the snpposed perpetrator oldie mut:tiers committed in Pateliffe highway, some years ago, was. exposed in tke 3: me manner. Ili then muted for leave to bring in a 13ill,:t0 repeal t;() ninth of an Act passed in tie 10111 and I/ t!I of King William 111. as went. to take array the Benefit of Clergy trout persons convicted of stealing in shops, &c. to the amount of 53. or more. Mr. JOHN SIIITiT corroborated the statements which had been made by the Learned Gentleman whit respect to the numerous fraudulent bank ruptcies' which occurred in every year, and -the increased number of for which had occurrill of late yeats. He further remarked the House were not aware of the manreases in which forge ries were committed where the business was given tii) on account of the severity of the Ifitv. To guard against the effects which pity for the hull vidual produced in such oases, he bad belonged to art association frirmrd for the purpose of bring ing off, airs tc, justice. Pity however pre vailed over all their arrangements, and their union had been of no,avaii. He supported the Motion. J.,2sTawpotir supported the Motion, and hoped the 13111 would pass into a law.---Leare was gh;en to bring in the Bill. lONIAN ISLANDS. Sir C. Moscx said, by a treaty concluded he= tween the tom Great Powers of Europe who were in alliance at the close of the late war, the lonian Islands were placed 'under the protection of Great Britain, and it was in that Treaty stated that a Constitution should be framed for them. The na ture of the Constitution framed for them, it Ap peared to him, could not bur be highly intereat log to the country, and to the English Parliament. He wished to know, as he understood the Consti- • tutiou bad been frameol stud ratificd, if it, were in tended to submit it to the llouse. Lord CANTLEREAGII Stilted 'that which had beep (lope to have heti' done in conformity with the prayers of the.inhabitants of the lonia') The Constitution .was fringed, ratified, and in ()iteration . , but he had tint received th e con : mant i s of -- _ ....... ite Prince jt rget‘t to lay it before the House. Sir C. MONqk gave notice, that on Tuesday be would move fur au Address to the Prince Regent, praying that the Constitution frame or the lonian Isles might be laid Ikefore the House.'

Lord CASTLEREACAI had no knowledge bf thi tippAit=. meat of a Depute. Mr. TIERNEt spulie, but was inandible. -- The motion for a dew Writ having been put front the Chair, Lord CASTLEREAGH moved that the debate on this question should he adjourned id Fridayi that time fur inquiry ' miet be afforded: Sir J. INKtypoirr argitetl; that as ;to documents or proofs, or inquiry were called fur, when a Meadier accepted the Chil tern Hundreds, and a new Writ was moved for, so liaise could .be ne=cessary,. now, and therefore it was nut necegsai - y to ad journ the question over to Friday. The 4UANCELL9II of the EXCHEQUER had iii yet not beard any Member say that he . hnew of his own knOwledge that - the Hon. Gentleman who had been mentioned, had, .since his election,done any act tor prove that he accepted the., 'Office in question. At present they had no facts before thetni and what had been stated came in the, shape of a mere sur - wise. - Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, -,he had had the information on authority which be chilli' not doubt, that Mr. Rose had ap pointed his Deputy. Nothing but mere form was wanting to induce the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself to move theuesi Writ . . The Hon. Gentleman,. however, as he had had .the officedn reversion . , sonst . he considered to have accepted it, as nothing to the contrary liad..appeared. • Lord MILTON remiaded the House, that form e rly w h en ' General Bettie was supposed to'have•becOlue Earl of Lindsey, a new Writ was INsned ; butt sunk doubt listing arisen wile , ther he would• actually succeed to that title, the Writ was ; superseded; and the House sustained n o inc onven i ence . I n the present instance qua. House bad . long been dept iced of one of Representatives of the People. As the office was held in reversion, he thought it ought to be eegtuded as hav ing been accepted. Mr. ABERCROMUY thought, as the office was held in re version, the House ought to have been informed before this by the Hon: Gentleman, or some one for him, that he had accepted it. To omit. this, was, in his censurable. His Hon. Friend, however, wbuld lose nothing by letting the subject stanirover to Friday, when, if the office should not have been accepted, the whole question - •eonlit come before the flouse.-Tlie debate was then adjourned to Friday. 'Mr. M‘DONALD said 'he would now move for, another Writ, to which he thought no objection could be made. He moved that a new Writ shonld be issued for Christchurch, ler a Burgess to,servti in the room of the Right Hun. George Ruse, deceased.—The motion was agreed . tay.l • BROCK, PELHANI, AND POWER. . An How. MEMBER, who had been oier,New gate as a Member of a Committee of that House, some days since, had learned that Brock, Pelham, and Power, had been liberated, in consequence of receiving a free pardon : he wished to know if the opinion of the Judges, on which t he pardon had - been granted, was 16 be laid b4ore the House. Ile then described the crime which they bad committed . , by engaging three poor Irishmen, and employing them to coin base money, in order to betray them to punishment 'tor, the blood-mo ney. Though guilty of the fact, lie understood they had been liberated under the opinion of the. i.;velve Judges : he wished to know it they had so been let loose again upon the town ? Mr, )3Amousz said this question bad been cbm rrimicated to to on a former day by the Hon. Member, and he had found, on inquiry, that the men weleliberitted in consequence of it.s being fou n d that ,as the law-now stood it was impossible that they could have committed the 6fience which had been_ imputed to them. At had been very much under the consitleration of the Law OffiCierS of the Crown, whether any act could be framed 50 . 83 to meet the precise ca.e. The opinion of the-Judges, though it had.caused a- pardon to be granted, was not in such a shape that it could be laid before the House. Sir F. BURDETT thought it imuossible that there . should he no kw, tinder which men mat) be pun ished, who had employed oth , rs • tit& w fully, in order to procure their conviction for the sake of the blood-moncy. If such mete the opi nion of the Judges, that opinion Oil ht, in sonic shape or other, to come before the House. The pardon granted, he thought, ought to come he fare the Judges, that they' might decide whether or not it was a good one. The ATTORNEY,GENEItAL stated Brock, Pel;• !tarn, and POwer to have been tried under u no.' riot► that they had been guilty of the sang: of ret:ce for Which others had been tried, and of which they had been convicted. An other ease, however, similar to 'theirs, had beet' -argu e d before the twelve • Judges,' who were of opi nion that the crime committed did not amount to that wits► which they had been charged. What ever the moral turpitude of their conduct might have been, it was impossible to execute theta, or indeed to,punish tbent in any other way on that conviction. He had since turned his attention to ft tuning a law to prevent such offences from es caping punisho)ent for the future, but some iif . . ... . . bculpesi not easily to be surmounted, were in the Way. No prosecution had ever been conducted with more assiduity than that of these men, a n d lie for his own part, had never been more anxious, in nay case, to bring Offenders to con dign puniiinnent. • Lord STANLEY was about to speak, *when Lord CAsTGEIMAG fl remarked there wa3 no question Itefore the fluuse, and t4e coUversaiiOn ceased, PROPERTY TAX.
